save_followup_sequence

Creates a follow-up sequence with 1 to 10 steps as a draft that sends nothing. Each step gets a draft template; submit them with create_template_submissions, then activate with save_followup_sequence.

#What it does

Changes data in your account. It does not send messages to contacts.
May start automations of the account, and an automation may send messages. The call itself sends nothing.
Setting it active lets messages go to contacts later. The call itself sends nothing.
Safe to repeat with the same idempotency_key.
